Crossflow Coolant Pump Question

[IamScotticus]

I think I heard it before, but,

Are the coolant heater hose pipe taps in the carb manifolds and the pump BSP , NPS, or NPT?

I thought they were BSP but I don't see the washer shoulders, and everyone Ive seen are fitted with NTP fittings, wright or wrong.  The OE Ford fittings I have are tapered.

The new manifold and pump I have appear to be a straight thread, although an NTP will thread, but not very far.

I would prefer BSP or NPS to avoid cracking.

NPT   AFAIK

 

you could always run a tap in and open them up a bit
